न तेष्वस्ति युगावस्था जरामृत्युभयं न च तेषां स्वाभाविकी सिद्धिः सुखप्राया ह्यत्नतः विपर्ययो न तेष्वस्ति नोत्तमाधममध्यमाः
na teṣvasti yugāvasthā jarāmṛtyubhayaṃ na ca teṣāṃ svābhāvikī siddhiḥ sukhaprāyā hyatnataḥ viparyayo na teṣvasti nottamādhamamadhyamāḥ
ในวรรษะเหล่านั้นไม่มีการสืบต่อแห่งยุค และไม่มีความหวาดกลัวต่อชราและมรณะ ความสำเร็จบรรลุได้โดยธรรมชาติ สุขเป็นใหญ่โดยไม่ต้องเพียรหนัก ที่นั่นไม่มีความเสื่อมหรือวิปริต และไม่มีการแบ่งชนเป็นยอด-ต่ำ-กลาง.
